Leanness Lifestyle Bootcamp is Finished

I can't believe that the 5 week LL BCI-1 is complete. What a great experience it was!! The people just like me, trying to lose the fat and get a grip on the whole numbers thing. It is all numbers. Calories in, calories burned, etc. All numbers. The coaches are incredible. One thing that made this so 'real' to me was the weekly teleconference with the group.

So, get this: my team, Mission I'm Possible, lost a total of 119 pounds. 13 of us! Team 2 lost 89 and Team 3 lost 87. I just find that incredible. The least amount of weight lost was 3.8 pounds, the MOST WAS 26.9!! 26.9 pounds! This person began the program at 400+ pounds with a goal to lose 25 in 5 weeks. This person reached the goal. Awe inspiring!!

My results? I lost 8.4 pounds. I began at 152 after purchasing a new scale which read me 6 pounds higher than I though I was..major blow to my mind..then weighed in at 144.6 yesterday. Yahoo. I lost 1.2 pounds of muscle and 7.2 pounds of fat per body fat calculations. I don't know, I am lifting more pounds than at the start and my biceps and calves have grown, so I don't think I really lost muscle, but maybe that is just wishful thinking. I do know that I lost the fat. My waist, butt, thighs and boobs all lost inches.

The big finale: all members of Team I'm Possible WON TRAVEL VOUCHERS FOR TWO PERSON TO FLY AND 2 NIGHTS HOTEL. How is that? Way cool!! Hmmm...better get shopping for a new bikini.

Hi Julie, my CONGRADULATION for your 8 pounds lost. I'm so happy for you, knowing how hard you have been working out and my best admiration as well to your mental strenght and dedictation, you did never give up regardless how hard it was finding THE right program for you. Yeah, you who are an Ultra Runner and never give up. Having been following your path since a while, well a couple of month's through this path that was not easy, you are now the proof that when we want something deeply, truely, we can reach it and find a solution. I bet you'll be 125 pounds in July.

About Me

12 years ago in the haze of a hangover I read Oprah's Make The Connection. It changed my life. I lost the fat, I put down the booze, began eating in a healthy manner, began to walk, then run. Run On! I first began running marathons. Liked it so much I found some crazy ultra runners in MN who showed me the trail and ultramarathons. 39 marathons and 40+ ultra marathons later ( 15 100 mile ultramarathons in the past 5 years) I am sober, lean and happy. I am now inspiring others to run, as Oprah inspired me. Coaching beginning runners is a gift I like to give every day. It's not just about running..it's about all that comes with it: goal setting, empowerment, a belief in oneself, being true to oneself. 2007 brought 4 100 mile finishes, 2008 brought 4 100 mile finishes, a BQ and PR at TCM, a PR at the 100 mile trail distace at Javelina Jundred: 23:13. 2009 brought another PR at the 100 mile distance! Amazing. Lean Horse 100, a dream come true. What holds for 2010? WHO KNOWS?? NOT I! Wow. It's 2013 NOW!
